General Dentistry FAQs
What are the benefits of exams and cleanings?
Dental exams and cleanings help care for your oral health. They provide:
Preventative Care: Helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
Early Detection: Identifies oral health issues early, allowing for more effective treatment.
Improved Oral Health: Cleanings help maintain healthy gums and teeth by removing plaque and tartar buildup.
Fresh Breath: Regular cleanings remove bacteria that can contribute to bad breath.
What is a maintenance cleaning?
Maintenance cleanings provide specialized care for gum disease.
If you have been treated for gum disease, regular maintenance cleanings are crucial for managing your oral health. Unlike regular cleanings, maintenance cleanings are typically performed every 3-4 months and are more thorough, targeting areas below the gumline that are susceptible to infection. These cleanings help prevent the recurrence of gum disease and ensure that your gums remain healthy after periodontal treatment.
Why might I need a maintenance cleaning?
At Newport Smile Studio, we are committed to providing fast and effective emergency dental care to ensure that your oral health is restored quickly. If you’re facing a dental emergency, don’t wait—contact us right away, and Dr. Abrak Etemad and our team will help you get the care you need with same-day appointments available.
How can irrigation therapy help treat periodontal disease?
For patients with more advanced gum disease, deep cleaning with irrigation therapy may be recommended. This involves a procedure known as scaling and root planing, where plaque and tartar are removed from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline.
Irrigation therapy is used to flush out harmful bacteria from deep within the gum pockets, helping to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This combination of deep cleaning and antimicrobial treatment can effectively combat gum disease and restore the health of your gums, ensuring that you keep your teeth for life.
What are the benefits of deep cleaning with irrigation Therapy?
A deep cleaning with irrigation therapy can help:
Reduce Gum Infection: Helps eliminate bacteria that cause gum disease.
Promotes Healing: Encourages healthy gum tissue regeneration.
Prevents Tooth Loss: By managing gum disease, deep cleaning helps you keep your teeth for the long term.
Non-Invasive: The procedure is minimally painful and requires little to no recovery time.
Why is proper oral hygiene important?
Dr. Abrak Etemad and our team at Newport Smile Studio emphasize the importance of oral hygiene as the foundation of a healthy mouth. Practicing good hygiene at home can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Dr. Etemad provides guidance on the best brushing and flossing techniques, as well as recommendations for products that can improve your daily oral care routine.
Dr. Etemad and the team at Newport Smile Studio suggest that you:
Brush Twice a Day: Use fluoride toothpaste and brush for at least two minutes each time.
Floss Daily: Flossing removes plaque and food particles between your teeth that your toothbrush can’t reach.
Use Mouthwash: An antimicrobial mouthwash helps reduce bacteria and freshens your breath.
Eat a Healthy Diet: Avoid sugary foods and drinks that contribute to tooth decay.
How can sealants help protect your oral health?
Dental sealants are a highly effective preventive measure to protect the chewing surfaces of your molars from cavities. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the grooves of your back teeth, where decay is most likely to occur. This treatment is particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults who are prone to cavities can also benefit from sealants.
How do sealants work?
The benefits of sealants include:
Quick Application: Sealants are applied quickly and easily in just one visit.
Long-Lasting Protection: Sealants last for several years, providing long-term protection against cavities.
Non-Invasive: The procedure is pain-free and does not require any drilling or removal of tooth structure.
What role do digital X-rays and intraoral cameras play in general dentistry?
At Newport Smile Studio, we use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to obtain detailed images of your teeth and gums. These tools allow Dr. Abrak Etemad to detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays, while intraoral cameras provide a clear view of the inside of your mouth in real-time, helping you better understand your diagnosis.
The benefits of digital X-rays and intraoral cameras include:
Low Radiation: Digital X-rays use far less radiation than traditional X-rays.
Enhanced Accuracy: Provides clearer, more detailed images for precise diagnosis.
Real-Time Visualization: The intraoral camera allows you to see what Dr. Etemad sees, improving communication about your oral health.
Why are oral cancer screenings integral to general dentistry?
Oral cancer is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if not caught early. Dr. Abrak Etemad includes a thorough oral cancer screening as part of your routine exam. During this screening, we check for any abnormal growths, lumps, or other signs of oral cancer in the mouth, throat, and surrounding tissues. Early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates.
Oral cancer screenings provide several benefits, including:
Early Detection: Identifying oral cancer early can lead to more successful treatment.
Prevention: We also check for pre-cancerous lesions that could develop into cancer over time.
Comprehensive Care: A thorough screening is part of maintaining your overall health and well-being.
What are laser dentistry services?
Laser dentistry allows Dr. Abrak Etemad to perform a variety of general dentistry procedures with enhanced precision and minimal discomfort. Lasers can be used for soft tissue treatments, cavity removal, and even teeth whitening. The benefits of laser technology include faster healing times, reduced discomfort, and a decrease in the need for stitches.
Laser dentistry offers numerous benefits, including:
Minimal Discomfort: Lasers are often less invasive than traditional dental instruments, leading to less pain and faster healing.
Precision: Lasers provide precision in cutting and shaping tissues, resulting in more accurate and less invasive procedures.
Faster Recovery: Laser dentistry often results in less bleeding, swelling, and faster recovery time.
How can night guards help protect your teeth?
If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) or jaw clenching, Dr. Abrak Etemad can fit you with a custom night guard. Night guards protect your teeth from damage caused by grinding and clenching, preventing tooth wear, fractures, and discomfort. Wearing a night guard can also help alleviate symptoms of jaw pain, headaches, and neck tension often caused by bruxism.
Night guards offer numerous benefits; they can help:
Prevent Tooth Damage: Protects your teeth from wear and tear caused by grinding.
Alleviate Pain: Helps relieve jaw tension, headaches, and neck pain associated with bruxism.
Provider a greater level of comfort: Dr. Etemad customizes each night guard to ensure a comfortable and effective fit.
How do fluoride treatments help strengthen your teeth?
Fluoride treatments are an essential preventive measure to strengthen your tooth enamel and help prevent cavities. Fluoride is a natural mineral that remineralizes enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Dr. Abrak Etemad may recommend fluoride treatments for children, patients with sensitive teeth, or individuals at higher risk for cavities.
Fluoride treatments can help:
Strengthen Enamel: Fluoride helps remineralize and harden the enamel, protecting your teeth from decay.
Prevent Cavities: Fluoride treatments are highly effective at preventing cavities, especially in children.
Enhance your oral health quickly and easily: The treatment is quick, painless, and non-invasive.
How can ARESTIN® treatments help resolve gum disease?
In cases of moderate to severe gum disease, ARESTIN® is an advanced antibiotic therapy that can be used in conjunction with a deep cleaning to fight the bacteria-causing infection. ARESTIN® is a locally applied antibiotic that is placed directly into the infected pockets of the gums after scaling and root planing. This treatment helps to eliminate the harmful bacteria and prevent further gum tissue damage, leading to faster healing and improved results.
The benefits of ARESTIN® include:
Effective Infection Control: Helps eliminate the bacteria that cause gum disease and promotes healing.
Minimally Invasive: The antibiotic is directly applied to the affected areas, ensuring a targeted treatment with minimal discomfort.
Long-Term Results: When combined with deep cleaning, ARESTIN® significantly improves the chances of successful gum disease treatment and reduces the risk of the condition returning.Faster Healing: Promotes faster recovery and reduces inflammation and bleeding in the gums.
Dr. Abrak Etemad will evaluate whether ARESTIN® is the right option for your treatment plan, ensuring that your gum disease is managed and your smile remains healthy.
